Canucks Won't Let 'Moron' Resign (Prime Minister Jean Chretien)

The chief spokesgal for Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien offered to resign today after being caught calling President Bush a "moron," but Chretien would not accept the resignation. Fitting reaction for a country in which polls show many citizens blame the U.S. for being attacked on 9/11.

She's French and Canadian

A reporter overheard Canuck peacenik Francoise DuCros at the NATO summit meeting in Prague calling President Bush a "moron" because she didn't like his policy on Iraq.

DuCros claimed she didn't remember making the insult but said she used the term often.

"If I made comments in the context of what I understood to be a private conversation, I regret that ... I accept full responsibility for them and I sincerely apologize," DuCros said in a written statement read before Canada's parliament after opponents demanded her ouster.

Everyone's a Moron; No One's 'Civilized'

"She may have used that word against me a few times, and I am sure she used it against you many times," Chretien told reporters. He complained that "we don't live in as civilized a world as we used to, where private conversations are private."

Then the top dog in Ottawa stuck his foot even deeper in it by trying to praise President Bush: "No no, he's a friend of mine. He's not a moron at all. He's a friend. I had a good time with him today."

If DuCros ever tires of her nation's high unemployment and weak socialistic economy and joins her many fellow Canadians who are fleeing to the U.S., she'll fit right in with the domestic branch of the blame-America-first left, where calling opponents names instead of arguing facts is an art form.

I think you replied to the wrong person. I cannot stand the Clintons.

I have lived in areas of this nation where the disgust for the Ottawa lib-left regimes is so intense, provincial independence movements have sprung up. Essentially, central Canada (Quebec and south Ontario) see the rest of the nation as vassal colonies to be plundered for taxes and politically disempowered with a disproportionate seat distribution electoral system. Chretien won a majority government with less than 38% of the popular vote (most of it from southern Ontario and Quebec). The socialist center gets fat at the expense of the Rest of the working nation and they run the political agenda.

We have the same problem here where the incompetent, affirmative_action, lard_butts in DC take way more taxes than they need. Then via a Presidential and Congressional spoils system remit *some* back to the various states. After skimming enough off the top to fund incompetent Federal bureaucracies. One example being the stupid INS which can keep track of nothing and don't care about anything as long as bennies and pensions are not touched. This agency is near worthless even though some individual workers really want to do their job
